A single word example of Shakey's genius:

"One would hardly look for release and revivification in a garden belonging
to Angelo. Interestingly, it is a 'garden circummured with brick'.
Shakespeare invents the word 'circummured' for this play, and never uses it
again. (!). It means--obviously enough --walled around or walled in."
